This is an antique vintage Justrite Carbide Miner's Lamp with its original box.
* It was manufactured by the Justrite Manufacturing Co. in Chicago, Illinois, U.S.A.
* The lamp operates by a reaction between water (in the top chamber) and calcium carbide (in the bottom chamber), which produces flammable acetylene gas.
* The gas is ignited to create a bright white flame, with a reflector to focus the beam.
* Carbide lamps were a significant technological advancement for non-gaseous mines, offering a brighter light than previous oil-wick lamps or candles.
* They were eventually replaced by battery-powered electric lamps after safety concerns arose regarding the open flame in gaseous environments.
It is still in the original box. However, the box is in very rough condition. I don’t believe it’s been used. Even though there is tarnish and rust on the chrome.
Please look at pics as they are considered part of the description. You will receive the exact item shown in the photos.
